It's more noticeable maybe with=20 higher voltages. it make it interesting discharging 50KV 1nF caps A charge of several kV re-appears some minutes later as the material=20 recovers after a momentary discharge. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
